Staying put - Toronto Mayor Rob Ford (left) vows not to resign after police said they had obtained a video that appears to show him smoking a crack pipe. The video was discovered in a massive surveillance operation of a friend who is suspected of supplying the mayor with drugs. Police said they did not have enough evidence to file charges against the mayor, who had claimed the video didn’t exist. Toronto police chief Bill Blair said the video will come out when Ford’s associate and occasional driver, Alexander Lisi, (seen with Ford in video images, right) goes to trial on drug charges.
